God-level Demon Hunter

"Master Roy, this is what I want to ask you for..." Todd said bitterly, "About my last relative, my little Aisha..."
"I've been looking for her since I came back to Nuocheng." Todd choked up, trying to calm himself down.
"According to my recent investigation, after Frank's death, Aisha lived alone, relying on her family's savings...until half a year ago, when her savings were exhausted, she moved to work in a flower shop in the south of Nordic City. It's all over there."
The unexpected discovery made the tired mercenary seem to see another way of life.
The witcher saw longing and hope in his eyes.
"I guess things didn't go that well," Roy said.
"But when I found the flower shop, the owner of the flower shop actually told me that Aisha had been missing for a month!" Todd's tone suddenly turned cold, "She left the flower shop one morning without leaving any clues or traces. disappeared without a trace."
The man was full of anger and worry, he stood up and paced anxiously, but he did not lose his mind after all, "The clerks searched all around, and the soldiers of Eternal Flame also searched everywhere, but it was useless!"
Roy shook his head. What could happen to a weak and beautiful girl who suddenly disappeared in Novigrad?
"I know it's useless to search around, and the people of Novigrad, the most well-informed is Francis Beran, the beggar king who has eyeliners everywhere. No crime can escape his nose." Todd said in a deep voice, "I took the initiative to find the Beggar King and promised to pay a large sum of money...and he made a promise to mobilize all the resources in the gang to find Aisha for me."
"But half a month has passed, and there is no news from the Beggar King!" Todd stopped talking suddenly, and sat slumped on the sofa, his gray eyes staring blankly at the ceiling, trembling all over, crying loudly, "God, let Let me find Aisha, even if I take a look at her... I am willing to pay any price!"
The witcher's expression became serious.
Even "His Majesty Beran", who has all-hands and eyes, didn't find any clues.
This case of disappearance is probably unusual.
"Master Roy, I know that demon hunters possess all kinds of magical powers, and they are best at finding traces!"
"If you help me find Elsa—"
Todd stretched his neck and gritted his teeth, "I have saved a sum of money in the past ten years as a mercenary, and I will give you everything! Including this house!"
As he spoke, he went to the second floor and took down a strangely shaped saber, and placed it in front of the demon hunter, "If it's not enough, add this weapon, it's the spoils I found after killing a robber, It has been with me for several years, and its quality is far superior to ordinary steel swords."
With a movement of Roy's wrist, the general knife was pulled out of the thick cowhide sheath, and a cold white light flashed across the air.
Bright and dazzling, its casting process is different from the style of the northern border. The blade is almost straight, and its curvature is softer than that of ordinary machetes. , the back of the knife is covered with delicate and complicated patterns.

……
When Roy touched the blade with his fingertips, he felt a chill and tingling pain, and a white line split instantly.
"Oufeier's saber, it's a good weapon." Roy's eyes flashed strangely, he put the saber back into the scabbard, and handed it back.
"Why, is Master not satisfied?" The big man asked nervously.
"Put away the knife, and keep the money for yourself, let alone the house!"
Roy shook his head. The purpose of this trip was not to make money.
"I originally wanted to bring a greeting to your father Frank, but since he's gone, let's bring it to his granddaughter."
"I'll sell it for free to help you find Aisha!"
Just to repay the old Jack for helping him back then.
"How can this be done? How can I let you do it for nothing?!" The big man was pleasantly surprised, and then puzzled.
"I was just entrusted by others. If you want to thank someone for being loyal, you can thank One-Eyed Jack."
The big man moved his lips, but didn't say anything, he just looked grateful.
"Your Excellency Todd, let me say a few harsh words. You should know that you are responsible for the disappearance of your daughter Aisha!" Roy said unceremoniously, "If you Years back home, with them, death and disappearance can be avoided."
"I was wrong, I'm sorry for them, I have no conscience!" The burly man's eyes were red, and he slapped his mouth, almost blaming himself hysterically, "I must atone for my sins! So...Master Roy, please do your best Go all out!"
I have been wandering and wandering outside for more than ten years.
In the end, Todd found that what he really wanted was not some dream of making a career, but just his youthful and frivolous fantasy.The treasure he longs for the most is within reach - the love of family that has been neglected.
But when he came to his senses and the prodigal son turned back, all these things left him.
Ironic.
Roy said in a deep voice, "Your Excellency Todd, the reality is often crueler than expected, and the final investigation results may make you miserable. You have to be mentally prepared."
The man's face turned pale instantly, of course he knew the possibility.
But he didn't want to give up any hope.
"I understand that if something happens to my Aisha, I hope the master will find out the murderer who killed her and give it to me to deal with..."
The big man lowered his head, buried his face in the shadows, and only clenched his fists.
Chapter 29 Magic Residue
It's almost winter, and the wet and cold sea breeze blowing from the estuary makes people shiver.
Arlene stood in front of the counter of the Lucky Cat flower shop with her eyelids propped up. The colorful jasmines, lilies, and water lilies in the shop were blown to nothing, listlessly, just like their owners.
The young woman was so sleepy that she accidentally couldn't resist the drowsiness, her nose moved, and she let out a soft snoring sound like a cat meowing, her eyes were half-closed, her petite body fell to the side uncontrollably, the next moment "Ouch" cried out.
She widened her watery eyes with dark circles appearing faintly, and covered her forehead full of grievances, where a striking redness was formed by the hard wall.
"Oh, if only Aisha was still here." She lowered her head and muttered to herself, thinking of that good employee and sister again.
When Aisha was still there, the two sisters had been taking turns looking at the store, and their lives were not to mention how comfortable they were.
But since there was no news from her two months ago, the burden of work has completely fallen on Yalin's shoulders.
Lucky Cat Flower Shop mainly serves the rich in the city, and has high requirements on the appearance of its employees. It is not so easy to find a qualified replacement in a short time.
She will have to support herself for at least another month.
Thinking of this, Arlene couldn't help but feel a little depressed. Worrying about her sisters had already caused her sleep quality to drop badly recently. Now that she was deprived of even the chance to take a nap, she felt that she could hardly keep going.
"Aisha, come back and save my sister, don't let anything happen to you."
"Boom, boom." A hand came into Yalin's sight abruptly, and tapped lightly on the counter in front of her twice.
The latter was taken aback and almost jumped up on the spot.She heard no footsteps, or movement at all.
"This guest is quite mysterious."
When Yalin looked up, she had already collected her mood, the corners of her mouth curled up, revealing a sweet professional smile, and she saw a completely unfamiliar young face.
Dark golden eyes, sharp eyes full of beast-like aggression, slender figure, covered in gray-black armor, unlike most rich people she has received, but like...
A trace of fear flashed in Yalin's bright black eyes, and she noticed the two sword hilts protruding from behind the opponent's shoulder.
"Welcome, distinguished guest. This is your first time to come to Lucky Cat Bar. Are you ready to choose a gift for your wife? Lucky Cat Flower Shop has the most complete variety and highest quality flowers in Novigrad," Yalin forced a smile, Trying to avoid the cold and stern eyes of the young man, he said flatteringly, "If you don't mind, tell me your specific requirements, and I will give you a reference, and I will definitely satisfy you."
"Sorry, I'm not interested in flowers... flowers other than roses..." Roy casually looked around the flower shop. The flower shop is small, but the decoration is exquisite and the colors are elegant.
As soon as the guests come in, their mouths and noses are full of pleasant floral fragrance, and they feel comfortable and relaxed.
At this time, there was no one else in the shop except this young woman, and he gave a look to the big and strong man outside the flower shop.
"You, what do you want to do?" Arlene noticed the small movements of the witcher, realized something was wrong, and leaned back against the wall suddenly, her body trembling.
Then very consciously took out a bunch of scattered coins from the drawer, "Please, don't hurt me? I'll give you all the money!"
"My flower shop is under the protection of Master Olof, you don't want to offend such a big man, do you?"
……
"Who am I? Hurry up and collect the money!" Roy shook his head. Although he loves money like his life, he is far from robbing women. "Don't be nervous, I have a few questions for you... It's very simple, you won't get hurt if you cooperate obediently." After the demon hunter finished speaking, he ignored the little girl's pleas. Outline a light and shadow.
The upside-down triangular seal imprinted into the pupils, and Yalin instantly lost her sanity, her eyes were lifeless, her head was lowered, like a marionette on a string.
"Name, age." Roy leaned on the wicker chair behind him, resting his left leg on the right. He really liked this simple and direct way of interrogation.
"Yarin, 25 years old." The woman's thin lips moved, and she replied mechanically.
"You are the owner of the flower shop, right? You should know how many people have worked in Lucky Cat Flower Shop in the past six months?"
"Two people, sister Aisha and I. Because she disappeared suddenly two months ago, I was the only one left in the flower shop. I was the boss and the clerk."
"Then how is your relationship with Aisha?"
"Similar sisters, eat and live together."
The witcher nodded. Arlene's current remarks were consistent with Todd's. It seemed that the flower shop owner was not too suspicious.
"As far as you know, does Aisha have other acquaintances in Nuocheng, and what is their relationship?"
The woman froze for a few seconds, even though she lost her mind under the auspices of Fayin, she still recalled instinctively.
After a moment she shook her head,
"Aisha, she has been working at Lucky Cat for less than half a year. She is shy and rarely talks to anyone except the customers of the flower shop. In addition, her scope of activities is very small, and she spends most of her time at Lucky Cat. It’s the dormitory, and the area in between.”
"A very simple way of life." Roy tapped his temple with his index finger. "For a beautiful and innocent girl like Aisha, there must be unscrupulous guests courting her and harassing her, right?"
The young woman thought for a while and gave three names, namely the jeweler, the son of a minor nobleman, and the owner of a grocery store.
The witcher wrote down the names and planned to wait until night to visit several people one by one.
Roy and Todd, the lookout at the door, were the only ones left in the flower shop.
"Before Aisha disappeared, did she show any abnormal behavior or say any weird words?" Roy took out a delicate rose from the flower basket next to him, put it between his nose and sniffed it.
Arlene denies the claim.
"There is one last question left." The demon hunter paused. "What do you know about Aisha's disappearance? Tell me about the situation that day again, and don't hide a single word."
"At eight o'clock in the morning on September [-]th, Aisha and I came to Lucky Cat to open the store, and then she left the flower shop as usual to go to the farmers' market to purchase supplies..."
……
5 minute later.
"Dear guest, welcome to our store. This is your first time to come to Lucky Cat Bar. Are you ready to choose a gift for your lover?"
A sweet smile returned to Yalin's pretty face, but her eyes were a little shy. She was sure that the guests in front of her saw her dozing off ugly.
However, why did I seem to have seen him somewhere?
In a dream?
The witcher didn't speak, but winked at her mysteriously, then dropped a crown, and left the flower shop with a bouquet of fragrant roses under the inexplicable expression of the shopkeeper.
……
"Master Roy, what did you talk to that lady just now? Did you find any clues?" Todd quickened his pace and stood side by side with Roy, his face full of anxiety, and the breeze blew his stinky sweat away.
Roy rubbed his slightly itchy nose.
"You'll find out later."
……
According to Yalin, when Aisha disappeared, she was rushing from the main road of the commercial street where the Lucky Cat Flower Shop was located to the Novigrad farmers market.
The distance between the two is about 10 minutes.
Roy took Todd along the way and got a preliminary understanding of the entire terrain structure.
On the commercial street, almost all the shops are high-end shops targeting wealthy people. The surrounding security environment is very good, with heavily armed guards patrolling past every quarter of an hour.
It is quite difficult to make a girl with outstanding appearance disappear in broad daylight.
As for the distance from the commercial street to the farmer's market, most of it is located in a bustling city, with countless pedestrians passing by, and the people of Novigrad who went to the market at [-] o'clock in the morning almost broke the ground.
In this kind of place, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Aisha must be taken away without anyone noticing, unless Aisha takes the initiative to send it up.
The only crime scene that Roy recognized was the long and dark alley between the commercial street and the farmer's market.
Close to the edge of the backward civilian area.
Compared with the bustling avenue, it is shorter and closer to the farmer's market from this alley.
It takes about 10 minutes from the beginning to the end according to the girl's normal pace.
